1985 Ripper

Posted on January 8, 2024 by Nekoman

1985 Ripper I’ve always been fine with Dreadnoks, but something that surprises me about my own interest in recent years, is how much the appeal of the Dreadnoks have grown on me. There’s a limit to that, and a few … Continue reading →

1987 Dreadnok Cycle

Posted on October 2, 2023 by Nekoman

1987 Dreadnok Cycle I think in a general sense, 1987 is a very underrated year when it comes to vehicles. Compared to ‘86, you have more fun and better looking vehicles from ‘87, and the only real loss is the … Continue reading →

2004 Dreadhead Joe-Bob

Posted on April 1, 2023 by Nekoman

2004 Dreadhead Joe-Bob Of the o-ring Joecon sets that were made, it’s probably not too much of a shock statement to say the Dreadnok Rampage set was probably the worst. Little things tend to make all of the figures wrong, … Continue reading →

1992 Road Pig (Super Sonic Fighters)

Posted on February 20, 2023 by Nekoman

1992 Road Pig (Super Sonic Fighters) In my early years collecting Joe, I really didn’t like the later Dreadnoks all that much. For me, the Dreadnoks stopped at Buzzer, Ripper and Torch. So while I was collecting 25th figures and … Continue reading →

1985 Torch

Posted on April 11, 2022 by Nekoman

1985 Torch My opinion on Dreadnoks tends to come and go, as sometimes I find myself greatly appreciative of their place in the line, and sometimes I feel they’re a bit overplayed. Of course, that’s true of most themes you … Continue reading →

1986 Zarana

Posted on March 23, 2021 by Nekoman

1986 Zarana As a sub-group, the Dreadnoks started off very hot in ‘84 with Zartan, and subsequently in ‘85 with Buzzer, Ripper and Torch. After that, however, the Dreadnoks quickly became decidedly more mediocre, with ‘86 introducing Monkey Wrench, Thrasher, … Continue reading →

1989 Gnawgahyde

Posted on March 11, 2019 by Nekoman

1989 Gnawgahyde In the late era of ARAH, Gnawgahyde came as both a character of minor prevalence and as one of the last Dreadnoks (the last new one, IIRC). Of course, all of that screen time is limited to the … Continue reading →

2005 Zartan (DTC Comic Pack)

Posted on November 5, 2018 by Nekoman

2005 Zartan In 2005, GI Joe was low on my collecting radar and Toys R’ Us was a seldom stop for me. So most of the comic pack figures came and went without my knowledge. My collecting interests changed a … Continue reading →

2004 Convention Buzzer

Posted on January 7, 2018 by Nekoman

Among the many Joecon sets that came and went, one of the most memorably lackluster was the 2004 set. Among the many figures FunPub could have made, they opted instead for some Dreadnok repaints that were at best, novelties. This … Continue reading →

1986 Monkeywrench

Posted on February 15, 2017 by Nekoman

Monkeywrench is a weird figure. By far, he’s the most forgettable Dreadnok and his accessories don’t fulfill his role as an explosives expert. Despite this, he’s not my least favorite Dreadnok, in fact, I actually rank him higher than a … Continue reading →
